This from Doris Kearns Goodwin via Garrison Keillor’s “Writer’s Almanac” (with thanks to Don Haymes for passing it on to me): To be a historian is to discover the facts in context, to discover what things mean, to lay before the reader your reconstruction of time, place, mood, to empathize even when you disagree. You read [...]

E. R. Harper on David Lipscomb
Posted in David Lipscomb, research on 9 February 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In 1971 E. R. Harper spoke at the Freed-Hardeman lectures on “The Church of Christ–The Kingdom of the King of Kings.” In his biographical sketch in the lectureship book (page 107) I notice an item I would very much like to see. Harper mentions that among other tracts, he is the author of one titled simply “David [...]

Center Point Christian Church
Posted in Andrew Jackson Ice, Bethany College, Center Point Christian Church, genealogy, Ice family, Isaac Ice, Kromer Columbus Ice, research on 31 January 2010 | 4 Comments »
The community that immediately shaped the faith of my Ice ancestors, and in which at least three generations of Ice’s participated, is Center Point Christian Church in Center Point, Doddridge County, West Virginia. Their involvement in this congregation in the 1850′s and 1860′s is the earliest I can place them, with certainity, in the Stone-Campbell movement. The origins of this [...]

As we turn the page next week, I think it appropriate to review the year’s literature in the broad field of Stone-Campbell studies. Though the publishers seem to have scaled back the volume of new titles, several significant studies came our way this year. I make no claims for thoroughness here; no doubt I’m overlooking something. [...]
